The method of losing weight with the unusual name “small diet” has several options. They allow you to lose a small amount of kilograms that a person has eaten recently, and lose weight quite significantly. We invite you to choose the method of losing unnecessary weight that suits you.
Small diet requirements
First option a small diet is recommended for people who want to get rid of 2-3 kilograms. The “new” weight (recently eaten) is especially good on it. If at the end of the technique you do not pounce on the harm, the result will delight you for a long time. You need to eat four times a day, basing the menu on lean meat, low-fat dairy products, fruits and vegetables. All drinks on a small diet should be drunk without sugar, but, if desired, you can “pamper” them with a sugar substitute. It is recommended to refuse food after 19:00 and connect at least elementary sports. Every morning, 20-30 minutes before breakfast, you need to drink a glass of water to wake up the body and start metabolic processes. It is advisable to refuse salt for the diet period or supply it to dishes in small quantities and immediately before eating, and not during the preparation process.
A small diet also includes “saucer” diet or “Small plate”… As noted by nutritionists, the reason for the excess weight of most people lies in the banal overeating. Many people eat two (even three) times more food than they need. The platter diet consists of simple rules. So, you need to eat four times a day, but all the products used, calculated for one meal, should fit into an ordinary saucer. This diet does not taboo certain foods. You can eat whatever you want. Do you want to “gobble” a cake or a bar of chocolate? No problem. The main thing is that the food fits into the recommended utensil. But, of course, you should try to build the main diet on healthy food. Indeed, otherwise, even if you do not exceed the normal calorie intake and will lose weight by eating harmful substances, the body may begin to experience a tangible lack of nutrients that it must draw from the right foods. So try to make sure that the menu has a place for vegetables, fruits, lean meat, fish, seafood, cereals, low-fat sour milk and milk. This will not only contribute to weight loss, but also support the normal functioning of the body.
As for weight losses, with a tangible amount of extra pounds, already in the first seven days, you can throw off up to five of them. In the second week, as a rule, half the weight goes away. Further, the body may “melt” a little more slowly, and this is normal. If you feel good, you can follow this diet until you are satisfied with your figure. The effectiveness of this type of small diet is due to the fact that by cutting off unnecessary food, the calorie content of your diet is also reduced.
It is worth noting that too much reduction in food volume can be stressful for the stomach. If you previously ate significantly more, then cut the size of the food more smoothly. For example, instead of the usual three saucers (if you ate about so much at a time), for the first couple of diet days, consume 2 saucers of food at one meal. For another 2-3 days, eat one and a half saucers of food at a time, and only then introduce the dietary rules in full rigor. Perhaps, in this case, weight loss will not make itself felt at lightning speed, but it will happen without tangible physiological and psychological discomfort.
The correct way out of the “saucer” diet implies only a slight increase in the usual amount of food and is made by adding calories. Add calories little by little until the weight stops going away. Adding weight to dishes is also recommended in a useful way, this is especially important in the first post-dietary time. For example, you can eat not an empty vegetable salad, but seasoned with vegetable oil, a little butter or sour cream can be added to the porridge, instead of an apple or pear, you can eat a more nutritious banana or treat yourself to grapes.
As you know, many celebrities eat according to the “saucer” method (Natalya Koroleva, Angelica Varum, Ksenia Sobchak, etc.).
On a small diet, it will not hurt to take a complex of vitamins and minerals, which will help the body to function fully without feeling a lack of important components.
